The Hardy Heron has taken flight: it's the second LTS (Long Term Support) release of the world's most popular distro. New features include the Wubi Windows installer and Firefox 3 beta 5. Grab a copy here, and check out Linux Format's overview of the release.

There have been statements from Mozilla people that it should be OK, to use, or at least better than the 2.x versions, even though there still might be more bugs to kill. My personal experience with it so far seem to confirm this.
